| Secession in the Kalmar Islands
|
| In a long anticipated move, One Rogala, cousin of the infamous rebel and tyrant El Cid Rogala, has seceded Kalmar city from the Kalmar Islands to create a new realm. The new realm adopted the name Avamar Selective. It will be based on some as yet unknown religious principles, with One Rogala as the Pontifex.
The Kalmarian Chronicles, the newspaper of the Kalmar Islands, reported the possibility of this secession nearly three weeks ago. The reasons for the secession are strange, to say the least. The Avamarians have already gotten their realm when they overthrew the previous monarchy of the Kalmar Islands. Now they have split the realm in two. How they expect the tiny new realm to survive is unclear. Avamar Selective is a realm of three regions, and barely more than 5000 citizens. Will this infant realm even be able to defend themselves from monsters? What will they do when the Old Rancaguans invade, as they are sure to do. Given the recent string of military failures by Old Rancagua, though, that may not be much of a concern.
Update--As expected, Old Rancagua has declared war on the newly formed Avamar Selective.

| Old Rancaguan Invasion Fails
|
| In a move that has long been expected, the army of Old Rancagua has launched an invasion of the Kalmar Islands. What was not expected, however, was the crushing defeat of the Old Rancaguan army. It seems that the Old Rancaguan army was having problems coordinating the movement of their forces, resulting in the attackers arriving in piecemeal, instead of in a massed attack. The first wave of Old Rancaguan attackers was met with more than twice their number in defenders.
With the initial wave of attackers rapidly vanquished, the defending Kalmarians sent even more defenders to the shores of Stora. It is not yet clear why the Old Rancaguans continued on with the attack in a second wave. They were clearly outnumbered, and had no hope of victory. The second wave mustered only slightly more attackers than the first, but the defenders summoned even more reinforcements. The second wave was also outnumbered, and the Old Rancaguans received a second bitter defeat.
This is becoming a disturbing trend for Old Rancgua. They have been routinely beaten by a smaller, poorer realm. Is it a lack of coordination? Lack of motivation? Lack of combat experience?

| In two very sad days for Perdan, Lord Rattler, count of Dimwood, was killed in action while fighting in Bescanon. He was a gentle, quiet, but generous man, and all he wanted to do was show his families fighting blood to all realms.
But, that isn't the only loss we mourn, for two more knights have died. Gloin, and Pete of the. They were both fantastic nobles of Perdan with undying loyalty to the realm. They will be sorely missed. Fingers have already been pointed at Nobles who did not move. Of course this is a reason for Rattlers, Gloin and Pete of the's terrible losses. But one shouldn't be so quick to pick out his friend, instead he should look out with hate at the enemy. We killed two Fontanese heroes, and they take three. How many more lives will be taken before this war ends?
